A while back, I wrote about how to calculate “grant success rates” and how the number is mostly meaningless.
Different organizations calculate them differently, and they don’t tell a complete story.
I have been wanting to say a bit more about this topic, but Allison Jones said it perfectly, so I am going to emphasize what she said.

Here are a few highlights from Allison’s article:
“Advertising a grant writing ‘success rate’ is often more about marketing than meaning.”
“What makes a grant writer truly effective isn’t their win rate- it’s their ability to deeply understand funder priorities, build authentic relationships, and match the right opportunities to the right organizations at the right time.”
Brilliant.
